on 10/10/14 I had a call from this number statting that it was Officer Brian with the IRS and that it was a "urgent Issue".  I did call back but I told him to send me something in writting, he stated that I owe $900.00.  "Officer" Brian stated that I will be receiving something in writting within the next 3 working days.  He does sounds very intimidating and very arrogant.

Confirmed fraud attempt (IRS script). This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.  
Read http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:
1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.

2) Help kill their phone lines but not by calling them back directly (the number may be spoofed and repeat calls by you may - under exceptional circumstances- amount to harassment). The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and/or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)

3) If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction and provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

I received several calls  from this number(202) 241-7497 and  202 23902903.  When  I  called  back  VM was  full.  I  continued  to get  the  calls every  10  minutes  to  an  hour.  I  called  back and  spoke  to  some  indian guy  who stated  he  was from  IRS.  then  he  stated  that  he had  pictures of  me  on the  internet and on  a porn  site.  He  said  he wanted  to  pay  me  to  come  to  my  house  for  sex  and  that  I was  the  top  rated  porn  star on some  site  and  would  pay  $800.00 for  sex.  I  told  him  not  to  call  my  phone  again  but  the  calls  continues.

Consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
